Who works with a coach?

Anyone dealing with the “stuff of life!” My clients focus on career issues and personal life issues, which are usually intertwined.

Here is a sampling of issues:

Career transition

  • New opportunities in one’s current field
  • Changing to a different field
  • Re-entry into the job market
  • Job loss
  • Starting a business/pursuing consulting
  • A promotion or new role (on-boarding)
  • Retirement

Life transition

  • New relationships/marriage
  • Ending relationships/divorce
  • Having children/adoption/infertility (primary and secondary)
  • Empty nest
  • Retirement
  • Caring for an ill relative/loved one
  • Death/grief/death of a dream

Career and life transition combined

  • Re-entering the workforce after a divorce
  • Exploring careers out of town while caring for a family member
  • Adjusting one’s lifestyle following a change in jobs or income level
  • Celebrating your child’s career taking off, even if yours isn’t

My clients are:

  • Multi-cultural - from Brazil, Kenya and Germany, as well as from the US
  • Both neurotypical and with Asperger's / high functioning autism

How we work together:

What all my clients share:

  • The courage to face change
  • The willingness to deal with emotions that can be uncomfortable

Together, we see results as clients move in the direction of their dreams.
